College basketball coaching hot seat: Five coaches who may need a good season in 2022-23 to save their job

The college basketball coach on the hot seat list before the start of the season is months away from losing his job. Two years ago, there were five coaches on hot seats. Last year, only one of them is still working his same job, and he's in his mid-thirties.

Brad Brownell is entering his 13th season as a head coach at Clemson. He has a record of 218-166 and 3 NCAA Tournament appearances. Clemson finished in the top half of the ACC in six of his 12 seasons and outside the Top 10 twice. The team went 17-16 last season and was picked 11th in preseason ACC poll.

Chris Collins is entering his 10th season as a college basketball coach at Northwestern. He is the first to take Northwestern to the NCAA Tournament. Since that season, Northwestern has had five straight losing seasons and 10-or-worse finishes in the league standings. Northwestern was picked 12th in preseason Big Ten poll.

Patrick Ewing is entering his sixth season at Georgetown. He has a record of 68-84 and 1 NCAA Tournament appearance. His team is 26-63 since he took over from John Thompson III, who was fired in March 2017. The team was picked 11th in the preseason Big East poll.

Stanford's last season was disappointing. Coach Jerod Haase is entering his seventh season at the school. Stanford hasn't been to the NCAA Tournament since Johnny Dawkins' team went to Sweet 16 in 2014.

Kevin Keatts is in his sixth season at NC State. He has a record of 90-68 and has made 1 NCAA Tournament. The school fired Mark Gottfried after he made 4 consecutive NCAA Tournaments. Keatt has missed 3 straight NCAA tournaments.
